Odd Food Combinations

[Cachoo]

I am making my mom her fifth peanut butter and pickle sandwich this week. Yuk but she loves them. Any interesting food combos that you know of....?

When I was a kid I liked ham and cream cheese sandwiches.

Chocolate and potato chips

 

[Wiery]

Spagetti noodles and ranch dressing.

 

[gkelly]

I had some peanut butter and portobello sandwiches earlier this week.

 

[skategal]

French fries dipped in soft serve ice cream. Yum!

My husband eats roast beef and grape jelly sandwiches

I like watermelon with a little salt.

Chocolate and potato chips

They are actually selling potato chips dipped in chocolate now. I have seen both Lay's and Pringles versions. I can't get ready for it yet...lol

I like watermelon with a little salt.

This is really popular down south. My grandmother did this and swore the salt enhanced the sweetness of fruit. I have seen people do it with all types of apples and melon.

I have had pinwheels which are ham slices spread with cream cheese wrapped around a dill pickle spear. I don't care for pickles but I loved these. A great party appetizer.

I have a friend who eats oranges with salt and says it's the bring out the sweetness. I've never tried it though.

Was it really a dill pickle? I've made pinwheel sandwiches with ham and cream cheese, but always used a Gherkin, not dill.

I still love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. But the weirdest one I've heard of lately is bacon and chocolate. That makes me cringe.

Chocolate and potato chips

That's not weird! Sweet and salty. A local chip company has sold those around the holidays for years. I just saw a display of chocolate covered Pringles at Walmart last week and was thinking about getting some.

 

[Aceon6]

I guess I was an early adopter. I was eating them together more than 50 years ago.

 

[Susan1]

I'll have to think about this, but someone might think barbeque potato chips (speaking of chips) crunched up in an omelet, with cheese (edited to add - l left out "is weird" before). Takes the salty place of bacon or ham.

Tuna salad with sweet relish mixed in. Yum!

 

[ilovepaydays]

I've made "nachos" with Fritos, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and melted peanut butter.

I tried guacamole on a hot dog and it was one of best toppings I have ever had.

The most common thing that I do to "remake" leftovers is to put them on a pizza. For example, I've made chili pizza and spaghetti pizza.

I'm going to stop before you guys think I am too weird.

Tuna salad with sweet relish mixed in. Yum!

Not strange at all! That is how my mom made tuna, chicken, or turkey salad. Divine!

Tuna Fish packed in water (after it's drained) and Cream of Mushroom Soup. Mix together, heat it up and pour over Toast. My dad use to make this all the time when my brother and I were growing up. It may sound yucky, but it is delicious.

I also like eggs scrambled into softened boiled potato chunks (with skins). Once the potato chunks are boiled to soften them up, I drain them, pour them over into a skillet with butter, and add two eggs. It's done when the eggs are scrambled. You can also add anything else like onions, bell pepper if you wish. I love to eat this with toast, usually make this for breakfast.

I also use sweet pickle relish, chop up a couple of boiled eggs, and add 2 tbsps. of Miracle Whip to make tuna salad. Yum. I've never liked chopped apples in it, though.

My husband eats peanut-butter-and-mayonnaise sandwiches and swears they're good. He also eats watermelon with salt (and has gotten me into it).

My husband eats roast beef and grape jelly sandwiches

This sounds so odd at first but then I remember having the "monte cristo" sandwich several times throughout the years and I know that is meat, jam, bread that is deep fried and covered in powdered sugar. It sounds revolting but tastes good.

Peanut butter and mayonnaise combo seems like a stomachache waiting to happen .

I think watermelon sprinkled with salt is very common in Asia.

He is not the only one - pb & mayo is my younger brother's favourite sandwich.

Gingersnaps with sharp cheddar. Mmmm...

Gingersnaps with sharp cheddar. Mmmm...

Yes....I also do vanilla wafers and cheddar. Sometimes even oatmeal cookies with cheddar.

I need to get out of this thread. Some of these combos I actually eat and it is making me hungry.

Ist one - gluh (how do you type a gagging, shuddering sound? hee hee hee)
2nd one - we always did that growing up

Isn't that how you make tuna salad?

I know people who have actually tried fish fingers and custard. Given I nearly vomited just WATCHING that episode I say there is such a thing as taking Doctor Who fandom way too far.

Chocolate and potato chips

Last night's Chopped - they had chocolate cake and "potato crisps" (Pringles) to use in the first round. And brie and something else.

My momma used to make cream cheese and green olive open faced sandwiches for her lunch. I have never seen anyone else eat that kind of sandwich. Her kids would not eat them!
